This law states that students cannot be denied [[#|educational opportunities]] due to their gender.
This means any and all student activities after school need to be offered for the different genders of students.
This law attempts to get rid of gender-based harassment.
This law was passed in the 1970’s due to girls in school feeling as though they were not offered the same educational and fun activities that the male students were offered.
Not only are students in school being discriminated but also women around the United States.
Many people do not know much about Title IX. A common misconception many have for this law is that it only pertains to equal gender rights in the world of athletics. But, this is not true. Title IX deals with many topics such as,
Athletics and making sure there are athletics for females as well as males.
The creation of strategies to initiate less discrimination among genders.
Allow all genders to be able to further their education.
Education for Pregnant and Parenting Students
[[#|Employment]] and equal treatment when working and being employed
Better Learning Environment in the classroom
More opportunities in the fields of Math and Science
Sexual Harassment issues and this becoming more of an issue presented to the public’s attention.
This law is known as a “living, breathing law” because over time it has been presented as active and has been used in “over 20 proposed amendments, reviews, Supreme Court cases and other political actions” (http://www.titleix.info/History/History-Overview.aspx).
This law has been brought up to be altered due to the fact that the idea of equality has not fully been met.
[[#|College]] attendance: 65% Female and 35% Male, even though most athletes are males
Male sports taking hits in funding [[#|Howard University]] lost its Baseball and Wrestling teams
Conclusion:
The increase in protection of women in education has also led to an increase in controversy surrounding their treatment. What is appropriate and what isn't is an important idea to address. Fundamental differences exist between men and women, but there is the right way to go about looking at this and the wrong way.
Women ages 25-34 with a Bachelor's Degree or higher rose from about 11% in 1968 to about 37% by 2008
In the early 1970s There were more than 3,000,000 male students than female students who participated in high school sports. Today there is a gap of about 1,000,000 less female students involved in high school sports.
Take funding out of the equation
Many women are still not created equal in some areas such as equal pay for jobs and [[#|degrees in education]] within the science, math, and technology. One suggestion for making issues still presented would be to create a job of mediation making sure that payment and money is not as much an issue.
It is said that “advocates will better prepare women for success in the workplace and society at large, and will enable them to take on leadership roles in the public and private sectors. Additionally, as women achieve increased visibility in positions of leadership, more young women will benefit from these inspiring female role models.” We need powerful women for all genders to look up to. Thus, it seems important to have stories of people who have been impacted and changed due to Title IX.
Activism and informing the public are important in creating equal gender rights. The inequality is not noticeable to everyone so creating awareness is key.
Sex-based harassment is still a huge issue in schools. In order to create equal rights for all genders, it is important to address sexual assault, sex-based harassment, and sex-based discrimination.
Provide equal opportunities in your classroom for all students.
